Earlier this fall, I wrote a memo for my university on bias in student evaluation of teaching. (I've attached an excerpt from that memo, in case it's of interest to anyone.)

I am now seeking examples of good practices for student evaluation of teaching. Has anyone's university explored better ways to have students evaluate teaching? Has anyone's university specifically explored ways to approach the evaluation process that could help to minimize some of the biases? I'm interested in any "best practices" (or "better practices") that you might be aware of.  I'd be happy to collate these "good practices" and send them to the list.  (I did write a basic guideline earlier this fall, which I shared with the FEAST listserv, on better and worse ways of phrasing the questions on the evaluation forms; but I'm now seeking more general ideas about how to approach the practice of having students evaluate teaching.)

Thanks!
Shari
